Join us for an evening of pressure free creativity centered around zines. Zines are small press booklets and have been around since the 1930s as a method of people to communicate their passions, discuss their lives, and find a voice.
We’ll teach you how to make zines, and give you all the materials you need to fill them. Casual self expression in an encouraging environment.
A new makers market is coming to Morley, on the second Saturday of the month.

Join professional artist Lydia Rain and embark on a journey discovering the wonderful and delicate world of watercolours.

All materials including paper, brushes and watercolours are provided.
On Monday 5 May, we welcome Leeds Arts University Students to host two creative workshops, open to all!
Please see more information about the workshops below:
Comic Art Workshop 11pm - 12pm
This session will introduce the comic medium in a simple but engaging way. Participants will be guided through the process of creating their very own short comic; sketching fun stick figures, superheroes, and nonsensical speech bubbles, making the process lighthearted and accessible.
Fun With Origami 12.15pm - 2.15pm
Join us in our monthly life drawing class with Gallery favourite, experienced artist and tutor, Rob Oldfield.
This workshop is open to everyone, from newcomers who want to take up a hobby through to experienced artists looking to hone their sketching skills.
Materials including various papers, pencils, charcoal and drawing boards will be supplied, but please feel free to bring your own too.
Gently and expertly guided by Monair, you will be observing from life and the examples in Art Library books and Special Collections to produce botanical drawings.
You will learn colour mixing and transfer all your ideas to a final piece using Winsor and Newton watercolour paints. All materials are included, and the paint palette will be yours to take home.
Join us at the Art Works, Otley, for a day of fun and creativity with Leeds artist, Tim Gomersall. You will learn how to turn your everyday urban environment into stunning, lively artworks, using Tim's unique techniques and way of seeing. The workshop is open to anyone over 18 years of age. Beginners are welcome as well as seasoned artists who want to try something different.
Community Art Club is an event for everyone to come together and make art.
Once a month we gather at the Miners Welfare Hall in Garforth and use different artistic methods and materials to explore our own creativity.
Families and individuals can work independently or together to support artistic growth in a relaxed, supportive environment.
